In a lengthy interview on CNN's State of the Union, Miller tried, very unsuccessfully, to minimize the role of ousted White House senior strategist Steve Bannon, and was frustrated in his efforts to run out the clock by dogged host Jake Tapper.

Before things got contentious, Miller made his worst stumble when answering for Bannon's assertion that there was no way Trump didn't meet with the Russians who attended the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

A hesitant Miller conspicuously refused to rule it out, haltingly telling Tapper, "I have no knowledge of anything to do with that meeting."

In fairly short order, Miller began to attack CNN in order to avoid Tapper's tough questioning, insisting that "it brings a lot of you guys a lot of joy" to report on the allegations in Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury."

But Tapper quickly turned the tables on Miller, continuing his tough questioning, and repeatedly observing that Miller was performing for "an audience of one."

The interview concluded with an unhinged Miller desperately attacking Tapper in order to avoid questioning, and an extraordinary shutdown from Tapper, who disdainfully dismissed Miller and addressed viewers while Miller continued to rant:
